Meteorological Aumun started at the beginning of September

Why has the Met Office decided in their wisdom that autumn now begins at
the beginning of September (likewise the other seasons to the first of
the month)? The seasons have always been linked to the solstices and
equinoxes. Changing it is just confusing and there's no point to it.
